How do I search in ENS Explorer?

Find names and addresses in Explorer, what the suggestions mean, and where each result takes you.

Note: The ENS App and ENS Explorer are both currently on Sepolia testnet. Behaviour and available features may change before mainnet.

Search is the front door to everything in Explorer. Use the search box on the home page, the one at the top of the sidebar, or press ⌘K (Ctrl+K on Windows) anywhere.

What you can type

  • A nameyourname.eth, or just yourname. Typing a bare label shows suggestions for several endings (.eth first, then others such as .xyz and .com); pick the one you want.

  • An address — paste a full Ethereum address (0x…) and choose View address details to open its address page.

What happens next

  • A registered name opens its name page — records, ownership, history and more.

  • An unregistered .eth name shows "Available to register", with a Register button right in the suggestions. See how to register a .eth name.

  • An address opens the address page — the names it owns, what it resolves to, and its primary name setup.


Common questions

Can I open an address page by typing the address in the URL?

Not directly — go through search, which takes you to the right page.

Can I search for DNS names like .com?

They appear in the suggestions, but most open to "Name not found" — Explorer's registration and management flows are for .eth names.
